SOtM player?

I sent it back. On their dime.  Hold the kimchee.
It took 70 minutes to get it to play for 5 min. B4 it disconnected.
Slower than Windows 3.0 on a 386 to boot.
My SHD Studio is cheap AND it works well, AES-EBU into my DAC.
It only took 3 pages to get it to SING.
Complete with DSP and a calibrated mic

I guess that makes you WRONG.

 I love my Magna Mano Ultra with i2s out and internal LPS.  $940.00 delivered, DHL Air.
Did I spend too much?

Or are you WRONG again?

But then, they include a customized, tested, dedicated player embedded.
SOtM just gives theirs a bad installation of LMS that interferes with other players.
The Studio player OS is better that BluOS anyway to go along with +SQ.
Sonos is overpriced for poor SQ.
Definitely for idiots.

I've used SOTM for over a year with no issues, it's not that difficult.

SOtM makes great stuff. More kimchee please.

I'll add to the chorus: SOtM makes top-notch products. That said, I have only used them with Roon, which I consider essential to managing a collection of 12K albums.

sonos used for digital out is ok depending on your dac's ability to clean a jittery signal

or a w4s reclocker for $300 solves the problem, gives 96k output (first mqa unfold) a very clean nice sounding bit stream
